Sister Midnight

Synopsis

A Mumbai-set twisted love story - A fantastical punk comedy, a feminist revenge film, and a revamped vampire movie rolled into one. An original, funny and macabre tale centred on a rebellious, misanthropic character. We follow the trials and tribulations of Uma – a young, newly-married woman – who discovers the realities of married life in a Bombay slum, and whose thirst for vengeance will not be abated.
